1. The Stadium
The "Ancient Stadium" was located in Nemea Greece, the very first Olympics were held there. Usually the stadiums were named after a distance, for example, (600 ancient feet or around 180 metres.) The stadium was built from rows of stone and some times even marble steps because they had divisions. It could hold up to 30,000 and 45,000 people for a porting event. Before they called it the Olympics, it was called The PanHellenic Games of Nemea and they were held every two years from 573 BCE to 271 BCE. They built this stadium so everyone as a group could come together to watch people compete at different sport activities.
2.The Parthenon
The Parthenon was created between 447-438 BC the Parthenon was huge and full of dignity. The Parthenon was made out of massive stones and rock. Since the building is so old and falling apart they have to continue to keep fixing the gaps. The Parthenon was a temple in Athens, Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena. Some people of Athens considered she their patron. Construction began in 447 BC when the Athenian Empire was at the height of its power.
3. Temple of Hera, Selinus
Most temples or structures in Greece were rectangular and always had some type of columns. Surrounded an inner chamber or cella with the whole standing on a stepped platform or stylobate and the interior paved with rectangular slabs. The roof was raised along a central ridge with a slope of approximately 15 degrees. It was made from wooden beams and rafters or marble tiles. This temple had statues at each point of the pediment. The doors were made of wood and were decorated with bronze stuff.
